I'm the same size and proportions as you. I have wimpy shoulders and get upper body fatigue. The thing that has helped me the most recently is exercise. I do pushups and dead lifts and overhead presses.
Another very popular saddle is my favorite: the Brooks B17. I have these saddles on a few bikes. My commuter bike now has a Brooks C17 which I love equally well and is weatherproof. Brooks saddles usually feel best with the nose tipped up a bit.
